i have the stock 20's and they look like a good size to stay with.

but if im not going to lift my truck right away since its about 7 grand, i might get 22's on 33 mud tires

I guess my question is how the he** does a 33x12.5 or 10.5 tire fit on a 17x7 wheel? I'm just not getting the math on that.

I think what's killing your perception is all of the "busyness" that the trx model has going on. You may be a fan of tutone and flares, and that's cool, but, aside from the cab and the hood, the 4th gen stands just as tall on the panels and has better lines (IMO).
The 4th gen actually went back to a 2nd gen body style with harder cuts and a, generally speaking, more efficient aerodynamic profile than either of it's predecessors
(2nd or 3rd gen). Give that first pic to someone who has Photoshop on thier pc and have them do away with the flares, and make that bottom grey stripe black and see then see how it compares to the 06.

Edit: Yeah- as mentioned, definitely some 20's instead

'ya know the funny thing is I liked the two tone in this color combination... I think it's the rims.... pretty sure I need at least stock 20's to make it feel a little bigger.
